He's hardly in retirement; he just hasn't been writing for Scientific American
these days.  He is a founding Fellow of the Committee for the Scientific 
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal and usually has at least one 
article in each issue of their quarterly magazine, "The Skeptical Inquirer."
He usually has an article in the Council for Democratic and Secular Humanism's 
quarterly publication, "Free Inquiry."  (Immediately at hand is the Winter 
87 issue.  He wrote "Psychic Astronomy", incidentally a superb article, page 
26)  I believe he still writes occasional articles for the New York Times,
the New York Review of Books, Discover magazine and others.  Finally, he has
a new book coming out in April, "The New Age: Notes of a Fringe-Watcher"
